The following is about silver ion and its sterilization principle, I hope it will help you.
"Compendium of Materia Medica" records that "silver scraps can calm the five internal organs, soothe the nerves, stop convulsions and eliminate evil spirits, and can be used for many years"
The development and utilization of silver has a history of 5000 years. With the development of science and technology, scientists have found that silver has stronger bactericidal and antibacterial effects in ionic state, and the antibacterial and antiviral effects of high-valent silver ions (Ag++) are 50-200 times that of low-valent silver ions (Ag+).
In the United States, silver is considered as safe as food. The safety of silver ions is recognized by the international medical community.
Sterilization principle of silver ion
When silver ions with high valence come into contact with bacteria, they strongly adsorb with the negatively charged active enzymes in bacteria and react with the active genes in enzyme proteins, thus destroying the activity of cell synthetase, preventing cell metabolism, interfering with DNA synthesis of bacterial microorganisms, and making them lose their ability to divide and reproduce and die.
Three germicidal effects of silver ion killing
Broad-spectrum antibacterial agent
Silver ions can kill most bacteria, fungi, molds, spores and other microorganisms that come into contact with them. It was found that it had comprehensive antibacterial activity against drug-resistant pathogens.
Strong sterilization
Silver ions can kill more than 50 kinds of bacteria in a few minutes. Effectively avoid cross-infection.
Durable antibacterial
Ag+ can be dissociated from the killed bacteria, and then contact with other colonies, and the sterilization process is repeated.
Therefore, it is the role of silver ions that can slowly release the long-term harmful bacterial activity, that is, it can inhibit the growth of bacteria, not sanitary napkins.
